I think a colorable argument could be made that its smearing someone to insist they broke the law when every indication is that they didn't.

I also find it telling that you admit that Novak should be smeared.

Smearing is, as you probably know, an act meaning to "charge falsely or with malicious intent; attack the good name and reputation of someone"

Therefore, you have stated that you believe that Novak "deserves" being "falsely" charged "with malicious intent." As a result you have admitted that you think that false accusations are perfectly acceptable when they conform to your agenda.
